Re: What was your handicap when you broke 80?

I do remember being 12 years old, but I don't remember actually having a handicap. When I played in junior tournaments between members of various country clubs back then, we only played gross score individually and team total. I don't think there were handicaps for children.

Re: What was your handicap when you broke 80?

As a youngster I played most of my golf over the local ' muni ' Silverknowes Golf Course in Edinburgh. I wasn't a member so was playing of an unofficial handicap at the time of 15. Still remember highlights of that round and parring the monsterous 18th for a 79. par was 71, so it was a day to remember.
